[quote name='Pissman' post='316189' date='Oct 27 2008, 09:40 PM']Was just wondering outa curiosity...what do you gain from having a fretless bass? Or a headless? (Apart from looking good) Another one....how loud can acousto-electrics go? A third random question!...How does the sounds change as the neck scale increases/decreases? This is mainly because I'm wanting to get another bass somewhen soon...when money appears....and wanted it to be 'different' Is it true that red basses make you play faster? And finaly...how are you today?[/quote] 1. More GAS and lotsa strings..... Lots more GAS 2. as loud as your amp of course..... duh. 3. if youve got a scaly neck, i wouldnt be worried about how it sounds I suggest you get to the doctor.... 4. if you want to be different play drums, most drummers I've met aren't human 5. red basses only make you play faster if teh red is yoru ownblood and you want ot get the set done so that you can get stiches.... 6. I'm +++kin ace, I've just won my 1st table tennis match after a 30 year break.....

Aaaaahhh this topic has been covered before I'm sure but teh ones with holes in are slightly different make, IIRC sourced out parts but Shergold designed..... IMO still worth £250 if its in good knick and yo like that 'retro' thing..... .
-
Ouch this is really hard....... I do like and own natural basses...... But IMHO EVERTHING looks good in black, so thats what I voted for.

Anyone any experience of Moses necks? [url="http://www.mosesgraphite.com/index.html"]http://www.mosesgraphite.com/index.html[/url] In lieu of PRS not being able to make me a fretless neck (without charging space-shot type fees) I'm toying with speccing a neck and ordering it from these.....

Sunday PM bump......

Aaaahhh so you point out..... But IIRC they have over 150000 satisfied customers so what do we know....... My advice FWIW is steer clear of the place, or go in and look around but certainly dont engage them in conversation, they are cretins.

I'm coming down to London Wednesday I could bring it with me.......

Folks as much as I enjoyed putting this together and sampling the results, life is never straightforward and its go to go to make way for my newest addition. I was going to keep this but my passion for PRSs got the better of me. There is a thread in build diaries about it..... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18771&hl=highway"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=highway[/url] but to save you trawling it heres the spec...... 1x late 2007 black Highway 1 P & 1. Black Hipshot A style Bridge 2. Black Hipshot Ultralight clover tuners x3 3. Black Hipshot Ultralight Clover D tuner 4. Black Hipshot 3 string tree 5. Graphtec Trem nut 6. Gotoh black chrome jack plate 7. Fender black neck plate. 8. Bartolini 8CBP pick ups. 9. switchcraft electrics 10. custom made (by me) 5 ply black pickguard. 11. Black Schaller strap locks I'm afriad all the original parts are now with other BCers and happy..... This is a Marmite bass, and I appreciate that, however I can guarantee you it is pretty unique and generates a tone I find very pleasing. It'll come with a new Moulded (2007) Fender HSC and a new blk Levys strap. Price.... £450 +P&P or pickup or meet I'm easy. Any issues or questions get in touch.

Hmm I like that pitchblack and having a small pedal board, makes me wonder if I should have got one of them instead of the DT10
-
Would that be me....... Its changed hands twice now and two very happy peeps!
-
Korg DT 10 on the pedal board... I reckon top VFM..... Gassing for a Peterson strobe meter for set ups tho'......
